Speech on Adventure – 4

"Respected Principal, Respected Fellow Teachers and Dear Students!

Today is the closing day of the annual sports month and I welcome you all to this occasion. From tomorrow onwards, your summer holiday will start and you can do various activities to enjoy your holiday. Many of you may even indulge in adventure sports, but be very careful while doing so.

I’ve been given this opportunity to deliver a speech on ‘Adventure’ and I am highly honored to get this opportunity.

Adventure means unusual experience or exciting activity. Though the experiences of adventures may be daring and risky in nature, there are several people whose life is full of adventurous experiences.

Meaning and perception of adventure may vary from person to person. The dictionary meaning of adventure is ‘a risky undertaking without knowing the outcome’; this clearly indicates that an adventurer enjoys thrill out of activities resulting into fun, excitement and at the same time the result can get dangerous too.

Adventurous sports come in varieties along with rules and disciplines. If the disciplines are being religiously followed, the adventure can actually be fun. For e.g Ballooning is an adventurous sport which comes with a lot of fun and excitement; even though it’s a costly affair, but it has a lot of scope for adventure. The risk element is high due to the change in weather and helium filled balloon is exposed to lightning and leakages too; but you can imagine the thrill of flying high in the sky without any engine and being able to manage the direction.

Car Racing, Speed Boating, Bungee Jumping, etc are all highly adventurous sports, enjoyed by several enthusiasts across the world.

Some people love to undertake adventure trips at unexplored and rare places, indulge into mountain climbing, trekking, etc. The fun of climbing the steepest mountain seems to be adventurous in all respect. In the quench of inventing more and more adventurous activities, some people even experiment jumping from the top of the Niagara Falls and many jumpers have even lost their lives unfortunately.

In summers, most of the people visit Water Park; I am sure, many of you might already have reserved your tickets for the same. It is indeed, exciting if all the guidelines and instructions are religiously followed. I, therefore, request you to always be with your elders while in the rides and slides at the park. Listen to the instructions and follow the same. Wear your safety guards and don’t experiment while in the water, as it may turn out to be risky. The same rules must be followed, if you visit Rishikesh for river rafting.

Adventure is necessary in life to make it interesting and exciting, but too much of ignorance may be fatal sometimes.

Many youths now-a-days pose for selfies to capture themselves with interesting or adventurous background such as Flood, tides, train on the rack, etc. These are again dangerous as you are never aware of the unseen outcomes.

Adventures are interesting only when precautionary measures are taken, hence be cautious and safe!

Thank You!
